Introducing The Pinball Noob Print E-mail
Paul Murphy, Friday, 27 June 2008

The Pinball NoobThere's a ton of excellent pinball restoration info on the net and in various books and DVDs. As a complete newcomer to the pinball world, I find a lot of this to be overwhelming. So, to help document my first pinball experience and hopefully help out a few clueless pinball newbies like myself, I'm starting a new blog section here on RetroBlast called 'The Pinball Noob'.

While working on my first pin (a Stern Quicksilver), I'll be videoing everything I do up close; this is mostly for my own benefit so I can figure out where every teeny little part is supposed to go when the time comes for me to re-assemble it all, but at the same time I figure these videos may be helpful for others to see how (and how not) to do things.

If you're a seasoned pinball shopper I doubt that you'll find anything useful here - but feel free to poke and laugh at me as I undoubtedly make a complete balls of everything I touch.

Let the pinball idiocy commense!
